PORCELAIN HANDLE BRUSH.

Application filed April 26, 1926. Serial No. 104,850.

It is common to provide the porcelain handles of brushes, especially ofshaving brushes with a metal ferrulewhich receives the brush head and isconnected with the upperend of the handle by using cement, pitch or thelike. This attachment of the brush head hitherto has been incapable ofpractical application, however because the connectionbetween the handleand the ferrule becomes loose and the brush head comes out.

The present invention relates to an 'improvement in the connection of aporcelain handle with the metal ferrule receiving the brush'head,whereby the usual attachment with pitch or cement is omitted.

For this purpose I insert between the peripheral walls of theporcelainhandle and of the metal cap a ring of elastic material, forexample of cork, rubber, pasteboard or the like. The porcelain handleand also the metal ferrule are shaped in a conical manner, so that theelastic ring lying between the conical surfaces is pressed strongly andowing to the natural. adhesive capacity of the elastic ring theconnection between the cap and the handle is assured.

The annexed drawing illustrates two examples of the invention withoutdefining its limits and shows in a longitudinal section in Figs. 1 and 2a shaving brush handle with the metal cap attached thereto.

According to Fig. 1 the porcelain handle is recessed and formed on itsupper end with an annular shoulder Z) on which is provided an outwardlyflaring Wall 0. This wall part 0 receives a metal ferrule (Z which isprovided with a conically shaped peripheral wall e and serves forholding the brush head in known manner. Between the walls of thesetapered parts 0 and a is inserted a cylindrical ring 7 of elasticmaterial, for example of cork, rubber, pasteboard or any suitablematerial. By the pressure of the metal ferrule against the elastic ringowing to the natural friction capacity of the latter v Fig. 1.-

ferrule is further provided on its upthe connection between the handleand the ferrule. is assured. According to Fig. shows also the flar ngwall 6*,Wl11l6 the -metal ferrule is provided with a cylinring lyingbetween the walls 0 and e bears on the one side against the conicalouter Wall of the handle and on the other side against the cylindricalinner wall of the metal fere rule. By this attachment the same. effectin connecting the handle and the ferrule is obtained as according to theconstructionof The per end with an inwardly projecting annular' rim 9,by whicha good closure in upward direction is assured.

What I claim is:

- 1. A shaving-brush comprising a recessed porcelain body having anannular under cut wall forming a shoulder above the said recess,bristles mounted in said recess, a metal ferrule encircling the bristlesand resting on said shoulder, an elastic ring between the under out Wallof the body and said ferrule, said ferrule having an inwardly projectingannular rim overlying the under out Wall and engaging the bristles.

2. A shaving brush comprising a recessed porcelain body having anannular under cut wall forming a shoulder above the said recess,bristles mounted in said recess, a

metal ferrule encircling the bristles and resting on said shoulder, anelastic ring formed on its inner side conically and on its outer sidecylin'drically between the under cut wall of the body and said ferrule,said ferrule having an inwardly projecting annular rim overlying theunder cut wall and engaging the bristles. 1

In testimony whereof I aflix mysignature.

LUDWIG FULD.
